Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Children & Youth, Leadership Development, Philanthropy, Voluntarism Promotion, Youth Development

Mission: So What Else was founded on the simple desire to do good and we continue to follow that path. However, with the onset of COVID-19, the ensuing pandemic, and school closures, we adjusted our program in March to meet the needs of our student, families, and whole communities - hunger. These issues pivoted our mission to include both emergency hunger relief and youth development in order to continue serving our students. As of October 15th over 5,000,000 million meals have been served to communities across Montgomery County, Washington DC, and Baltimore! The include more than 80 communities in need - from Montgomery County, Prince Georges County, DC, Baltimore, Howard County and Anne Arundel County all served since March. However, we still continue to provide a tripod of service, now on a remote basis, these include: 1. To provide out of school time educational and creative programming to under-served youth 2. To promote volunteerism, provide resources and service to other community organizations 3. To mobilize the youth we serve to, in return, pay it forward through community service Our primary goal is to continue expanding our after-school and summer programs to children who do not otherwise have access to extracurricular enrichment activities without programs such as ours. The diverse curriculum fosters academic achievement, inspires community engagement, teaches teamwork and empathy, nurtures a healthy lifestyle, engenders a sense of well-being and self-efficacy, and promotes environmental stewardship.
